INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM

This past weekend I attended the tall ship festival in Port Alberni, 
and enjoyed 99 percent of it. The only unpleasant part of the day was 
seeing the 2010 Olympic mascots up close and personal. I was never 
their biggest fan from day one, but seeing them this close has made 
me name them LARRY MOE and CURLY ( no offence to the 3 Stooges). With 
all the artists and creative people that call this province home how 
in hell did we wind up with these 3 creatures. The big brown one 
looked like a large pile of elephant dung with a smiley face 
attached, the green thing a teletubby on steroids and the orca 
character could be a dogfish in a tutu, even though it was the best 
of the trio. Some preschoolers could have done a better job with 
finger paints and papier mache.

Some one needs to be fired for incompetence. Unfortunetly it gets 
worse. Have you seen the track suit/sweat suit made from Charlie 
Farquarson's handkerchief that is heading to Bejing? There goes my lunch!

Our young atheletes soon to be off to China in costumes designed by 
somebody fresh from the insight needle/injection site.

Here we are showing ourselves to the world to try and make a 
statement. The statement from what I've seen so far is "what in hell 
have you been smoking?" While I'm on the subject of smoking, what 
would happen if someone went and stood next to the needle exchange 
and lit up? Would they be arrested or fined for doing something illegal?

It is time to fire a lot of people, give our collective heads a shake 
and stop the inmates from running the asylum.
